Anatomy of a Journalistic Investigation
(cont.)

Police Department

"The call came in at 10:32 P.M.,"
said Detective Dan Collins of the Newark Police. "The unit arrived at
10:44 and could really find nothing to substantiate an earthquake or
anything like that and closed out at 10:46. They contacted PSE&G
but could not find anything to substantiate an earthquake or anything
like that."

Fire Department

The Fire Department also confirmed
that they had answered the call. "An alarm came in at 22:30," said
Stanley Kossup, Newark's fire director. "The fire department responded
to the location. They sent one company down. It was booked as a 305, a
false alarm. There were no unusual events. There weren't any UFOs
flying around."
